FOCUS4-D: reconstructed Kaplan–Meier curves
Inhibition of EGFR, HER2, and HER3 signalling in patients with colorectal cancer wild-type for BRAF, PIK3CA, KRAS, and NRAS (FOCUS4-D): a phase 2-3 randomised trial. Curves rebuilt as patient-level data (Guyot 2012) and checked against the statistics printed on the figure.

Progression-free survival — Intention-to-treat
From figure panel · validated against the values printed on the figure · curve source: pixel measurement confirmed by vision model
Reconstructed from the published curve. Median: Placebo 3.5 months; AZD8931 3.0 months. Survival at 4 months: Placebo 38%; AZD8931 38%. Hazard ratio Placebo vs AZD8931 1.06 (95% CI 0.51–2.20).
